Miss'y Band Student Talent
Sets New Goal Survey Friday
In keeping with the times, Beth-el
has this year again reached a
new high in registration. From
every corner of the United States,
as well as in Canada and Alaska,
there are students at Bethel to
receive a part of their education.
Since Bethel is a Baptist school,
there are 354 students of the Bap-tist
faith enrolled. Baptist young
people are not only ones here
though, for there is a total of 17
different faiths represented in the
school body. The total enrollment
of 511 surpasses any previous re-gistration
in the history of the
school. The girls are again out-numbered
this year for there are
334 male students compared to the
total of 177 girls. The state of
Minnesota again leads in the num-ber
of representatives with a total
of 210. At least half of this total
have their homes in the Twin
Cities. Second place honors go to
Illinois with Michigan, Iowa, Neb-raska,
and California next in line.
In the college department there
are 427 students. Of these, 260 are
new students with sophomores and
the students for the new third year
making up the other 167. The vet-erans
again are well represented
this year in that there are 147 of
them taking courses in the college.
There are also three girls who
have previously been in the ser-vice.
The Seminary too has had an
increase over that of last year. The
enrollment in that department is
84 with 32 of these men being
veterans. There are 25 new stu-dents
taking theif first classes in
the Seminary to further prepare
themselves to carry on the work
that those who have gone before
have started.
New Members of
Faculty Welcomed
A reception for the faculty and
students was held on Tuesday
evening, September 16, in the col-lege
Chapel. The purpose of the
reception was to officially welcome
the new students, and to present
the new faculty members to the
student body.
The program was led by Harold
Christenson, last - year's Sophmore
president. He introduced the pres-idents
of the Religious Council and
the Student Council, Maynard John-son
and Byron Skalman respect-ively,
who extended the greetings
of their respective organizations.
This was followed by a violin solo
by Carol Landberg whereupon Roll-in
Reasoner, this year's Sophmore
president, and Harold Carlson
from the Seminary gave their wel-come.
Representing t h e faculty, brief
addresses were given by Deans
C. E. Carlson and Effie Nelson,
while President Wingblade offic-ially
presented the new faculty

DIRECTOR
Royal Bloom, B.S., M.A.
Let's turn our eyes this week to
another new member of our fac-ulty,
Mr. Royal Bloom, who is Dir-ector
of Personnel and instructor
in Psychology and Education.
Prof. Bloom is especially inter-ested
in statistics in the field of
Psychology having been research
assistant at the Uniiversity of
Minnesota, where he obtained his
B.S. and MA. degrees, and is now
working on a PhD. He has come to
us directly from the position as
Civilian Head of Classification in
the Navy Department, with duties
involving development of tests for
officer and enlisted personnel and
research on personnel selection
problems. He had served in this
same capacitty as a Lieutenant
Commander during the war. Before
this, he taught in rural schools two
years, attended St. Cloud Teachers
College for two years and was prin-cipal
of elementary schools three
years.
Mr. Bloom was born in Cam-bridge,
Minnesota. His interest
other than teaching is travel. He
and Mrs. Bloom have travelled con-siderably
throughout most of the
U.S. Second to this he is interested
in sports. While attending St.
Cloud Teachers College he played
on the baseball team.
In the paint shop now is the
new Bethel gospel team bus. The
bus was obtained from army sur-plus
on the west coast through
Rev. W. R. Anderson, a former
army chaplin, of Poyallup, Wash.
It is an elongated 1942 Chev-
With the enlargement of the stu-dent
body as a precedent, Bethel's
Missionary Band has increased its
working budget to $2,000.00 for
the current school year. ouch was
the announcement of Bud Peterson,
treasurer, in a Missionary Band
chapel service held last Wednes-day.
—
The new budget is an increase
of $500.00 over last year's budget;
but, according to the Band treas-urer,
this would average only a $4
tithe to missions on the part of
each student. Every cent given to
missions will go directly into mis-sion
work, miscellaneous expenses
of the Band being defrayed by the
Religious Council Fund. The initial
mission offering taken last Wed-nesday
amounted to $165.00. Bud
Peterson states that the monthly
tithing should average $200.00 if
the budget is to be met.
Vice president of the Missionary
Band, Ralph Larson, stressed the
Band's aim....one of helping every
student to have the mission inter-est
that he should have in the for-eign,
home and Sunday school
fields. To create and maintain this
interest on the campus, the vice
president states that the Mission-ary
Band is going to advance its
program in three-fold manner. The
program will be centered around
passionate prayer, which will be
followed up with interest revealed
in the regular Band meetings dis-closing
the realities of missions.
Thirdly, the program proposes to
aid every student in finding his
place in missions.
B. W. A. Meets
The Bethel Women's Association
met for the first time this school
year Thurslay afternoon Sept 18,
1947, for the annual installation of
officers. The faculty wives were
hostesses for the occasion. Faculty
members and wives were intro-duced.
Newly elected officers were
welcomed by last year's B. W. A.
officers with an impressive candle
service.
rolet model which carries 15 pass-engers.
Several Bethel students
from the West drove it here as
they returned to Bethel this fall.
It is reported to be in excellent
condition and just what is needed
for gospel team work.
Bethelites interested in Gospel
Team work will have an opportun-ity
to so signify in a survey which
will be held during the Chapel
period Friday, Sept. 26. Mel Sone-son,
vice president of the Religious
Council, has announced a well
planned program, including tract
distribution, personal evangelism,
church services, mission work,
young peoples meetings and street
meetings. An advisory committee
of Myrtle Rhenberg, Dale Arent-son,
and George Johnson are assist-ing
in the organizing of teams and
issuing of assignments. Prof. Antgn
Pearson will act as faculty advisor.
Students will organize into duets,
trios, and quartets before the sur-vey
is made, and then will be able
to sign with whom they would best
be able to serve. The survey sheets
will then be used to organize the
teams for the year. Team captains
will be selected for each team.
Last year over twenty teams
went out from school to proclaim
God's mesage in song and word.
A gospel team must have Christ-ians
sincerely interested in the
Lord's work, and eager to win
the lost to Christ. Souls will be
saved and Christians drawn closer
to our Savior through this work
only as the servants are yielded to
the Master.
Sacred Musical
Held in Chapel
A musical program was present-ed
Wednesday evening, September
17. The Bethel male quartet sang
two groups of numbers, including
"Shall I Crucify My Savior?" and
"Only the Touch of Thy Hand,
Dear Lord." Devotions were given
by Morrie Engstrom with the read-ing
of the 100th Psalm. Helen
Hoffman and Bert Anderson pre-sented
two piano numbers, the
first of which was a classical
selection and the second, a vari-ation
of hynins and choruses.
Dr. Widen spoke on Christian
fellowship. Using his experiences
while in the Navy, he pointed out
the blessings of fellowship with
other Christians in a large group,
small groups, and even when a-lone;
for that is when we have
fellowship with Jesus Christ who
is the foundation for all Christian
fellowship.

Missionary Goal
Once again Missionary Band has anounceu
a very worthy goal which the corporate stu-dent
body will strive to achieve by the time
for Commencement next year.... ,2,000.00 for
Foreign Missions. This is a large goal, the
largest yet, for Bethel students to meet, but
it is indicative of the Foreign Missions inter-est
on the campus. Last year a $1,500.00 goal
was placed and successfully reached.
Two hasty thoughts often come to the stu-dent
when such a campaign is begun. "Why
are students asked to make a money contri-bution
when student costs are high?" Or, "Why
am I obligated to give when I'm preparing for
full-time Christian service?" It seems that if
such attitudes are permitted to linger the stu-dent
may succumb to the permanent temp-tation
of not helping to the best of his ability.
Could this be immature Christian thinking?
Rather, as students who are already begin-ning
a life given task of Christian service,
whether or not this service becomes profess-ional
in nature later, we are interested in the
evangelical problems of the world. There is
a desire to help share in meeting world evan-gelical
needs now.
The small $.45 per student per month
amount will meet the $2,000.00 goal.
CLIQUING
We students at Bethel, especially the newer
ones, have been regaled in the past few
weeks with much in the way of welcome. Phis
has taken various forms, at times sincere and
at times in the spirit of fun. This is, of
course to be expected, and it is an integral
part of geting settled in any school. However,
at about this time comes the great test of
the many expressed sentiments. About now,
the newer students begin to find themselves
left pretty much to their own devices in many
school activities. With a few exceptions, upper-classmen
maintain a strict code of isolation.
Although a large part of this cliquing is un-doubtedly
unintentional, it is very definitely
here. Anyone at Bethel can easily pick out
several of these cliques.
We don't propose to condemn this pratice at
all. It is merely the fact that its existence as
such tends to create a certain amount of
hard feeling now and then. This should not
be and it can easily be avoided. Happily, no
reason for a complaint such as this has arisen
as yet, and it would create a pleasant pre-cedence
if it would never happen at all. This
then, in essence, is the purpose of this piece.
Let's see to it that we include a few newer
students in some of our activities. Let's see
to it that no one will ever have to say of his
years at Bethel that he felt alone or friendless
because he couldn't break down the walls
built up by groups that had been at school
earlier.

Greetings and hallucinations ! By now I sup-pose
that all the sunburned noses are back
very close to the grindstone and that every
foot that strayed on Broken-Bottle Beach is
well healed. We've .all settled happily into
the stimulating, rigorous Bethel routine and
become accustomed to our comfortable quart-ers.
Say, while we're on this subject, is it
true as John Finstrom says, that "the school
board found the beds for the mens' dorm in
Andersonville, the Civil War prison"?
Recently I've been doing some research in
connection with an award. Every nite I've
had coffee in a different room (in Edgren Hall,
'natch) ; and after three weeks and 109 cups
I'm convinced that Phil Johnson still has the
title. Beyond the shadow of any possible doubt,
during last year Phil made the most abomin-able
coffee on the campus. And so far, no one
this year has been able to outdo him. Until
someone examines his grounds and his laun-dry
techniques (and it may be Gus Lundberg
who is reputed to be searching the nation for
a new recipe) 'til that day arrives Phil John-son
is King.
"Many a man who prides himself on being
level-headed doesn't know how low the level

deep question, a problem. Here in the coffee

Nov that the freshman are formally initia-ted,
the new teachers semiformally received
and the new school nurse informally receiving
patients in the dispensary, 'Bethel is again
"in the swing" I know because I have
already heard of students studying Spanish in
psych. class. That may be a revolting idea to
you noble freshmen but that's what actually
happens when you become one of the Soph-more
or Junior "intelligentsia" (moron, in
other words).
In reply to numerous requests for a look
at my notorious harp, it is with great pleasure
that I announce an underground movement to
place this discordant instrument on permanent
display possibly in the incinerator where it
can be easily disposed of when rigor mortis
sets in. Watch this space for further announce-ment
of the stupendous "unveiling".
FLASH....Ben Sherman has offered his
services to any and all Seminary girls who
fear that they might have lost one of their
Christian graces....being able to "take it".
Leona Larm, I understand, is the first enrollee
after a session of teasing by the Sem. "big
bad wolves" in the library the other day.
CAMPUS CHAFF...If you doubt that "great
minds run in the same channels", ask the Pope
twins, Patty and Peggy, "What is your sister
like?" You will more than likely get the same
answer from both of them..."Ornery."....I
hope the competition among the three dry
cleaner representatives on campus gives us
some good service...speaking of business,
there is a good chance for someone with a
big mouth (listening, Morrie?) to sell peanuts,
ice cream, etc at the home football games. Of
course, you will probably have competition
there, too, in the form of Gus Lundberg and
Co. but I'd sure like to see a good "price war".

honor system and less of the spy system. I
think it is more becoming to a Christian
school, don't you?

Some prefer to think of all education as
"guidance". This would be particularly appro-riate
in a school such as our own in which
our whole program is definitely student-cent-ered.
From this viewpoint all of our efforts
on the campus can be called "personnel work".
There is, however, a more specific or more
limited use of these terms. This places its
emphasis upon certain aspects of the work
and upon certain techniques. Such problems
as efficiency of study habits, interest and ap-titude
analysis, and the planning of courses
of study and vocational careers are brought
into the foreground in this emphasis.
The decisions of life cannot be made by one
person for another. We must each live our
own lives in the terms of our personal re-sponsibility
before God. Yet we can be of
help to one another in analysing the situation
and the factors involved. The need for enlarg-ing
our facilities for this work has been ap-parent
with the growth of our schol.
Accordingly, we were pleased to announce
the appointment of Mr. Royal Bloom to the
position of Director of Personnel. He is now
on hand ready to give the students the assis-tance
which they desire in these matters. Mr.
Bloom is a specialist in Educational Psych-ology
and has a wide background of study,
research, and experience.
As Christians we often challenge each other
to give "our best" in the Lord's service. This
must include the planning and the carrying
out of our school work in the most effective
manner possible.

shop the other day one of these great, dis-turbing
perplexities was aired by the Baron,
Ole Lindstedt, when he inquired thusly: "How
does Ev Johnson maintain that effortless,
easy, casual, man-of-milk-distinction "look"
about himself? What could be his secret? Is
it the Yardley stench, or a tweed scivy shirt,
or is it a slab of knotty pine in his shoulder
padding? Or does he room with a dog and old
shot-gun? What is it?" The solution was vent-ured
by a chap named Rehnberg (James, I
believe it is) who bent over the table and con-fided
in low tones with cupped hand: "By way
of the Bodien Residence I can state without
fear of contradiction that his whole secret
lies in the fact that Ev Johnson has hired
Bud Weber to sleep in his suits!"
So long for a while.

Indians Lose Hard-Fought Game 14-0
The second quarter found the
Indians playing even with Roches-ter,
each team making two first
downs. A surprise 35 yd. pass was
completed to Osterberg, Olson do-ing
the passing, just as the half
ended.
Rochester received the openinb
kick-off again as the second half
began. The Yellow-jackets com-manded
the ball most of the quart-er,
and began to threatetn late in
the period. As the quarter ended
Rochester had the ball on Bethel's
13 yd. line. Charging hard from
the T-formation they fought down
to the 4 yd. marker where the
Indians stopped them just short
of a first down. The Indians kick-ed
out to about the 30 yd. line
where the Gold and Blue started
to roll again; They pushed to the
10 yd. line before being thrown
for an eight yd. loss. Then came
the touchdown pass on the fourth
down from McDonough to Kleint.
The extra point was good, and
Rochester took the lead 7-0.
The Indians took the ball on the
kick-off and after a couple line
plays lost the ball on a fumble.
Taking advantage of this break
Rochester smashed to the goal
line where they were stopped by
a 15 yd. penalty. Coming back with
a fast charge against a weary In-dian
forward wall they moved in-side
the 10 yard line. A quick bas-ketball
pass over the goal line to
Kleise brought the second touch-down.
The kick was good making
the score 14-0 in favor of the Yel-low-
jackets.
Rochester kicked-off again with
Brunko returning it to the 35 yard
line. On the second play Bethel
lost the ball on a pass interception.
The ball exchanged hands a couple
of times with the ball in the In-dian's
possession on their 35 yard
line as the game ended.
Red and White gridders trudged
wearily into the locker room, but
none of them were discouraged.
This was just a warm-up game,
and all the boys are pointing to-ward
October 3rd when they play
a night game with Rochester on
their home field. This will give
them a chance for revenge and a
conference victory.
In its first year of competition
the Bethel football team will be
aided greatly by the services of
Bob Brunko, a nineteen year old
lad from Iron Mountain, Michigan.
Bob gained a lot of football exper-ience
at Kingsford High School in
Michigan where he played full-back
for four years. He weighs
185 pounds and is 6' 1" tall. Bob
has a lot of drive when hitting
that line, and is almost certain to
be called on to fill the full back
position a great deal of the time.
He runs fast and blocks hard, and
should prove quite a headache to
the opposition this year.
Bob's home church :s the Im-manuel
Baptist church of Ironwood
which is a member of the General
Baptist Conference. This is his
first year at Bethel, and the course
of study he is following is in prep-aration
for the ministry.
Practice Notes
On Wednesday, two days before
their opening game, the Indians
were given a rough workout a-gainst
the Washington High School
eleven. Though a high school team,
the Washington boys were evenly
matched in size and weight with
the Indians. Although neither team
proved very impressive on the off-ense,
the defensive play was
marked by some hard tackling, and
bumps and bruises were plentiful.
Unfortunately, M e 1 Soneson, one
of the Indian's backfield men, suf-fered
a badly sprained ankle and
was unable to be in the game with
Rochester on Friday. The scrim-mage
was rough but the Indians
learned a lot.

NAS Goes Over
$20,000 Mark
The latest report from the Col-lege
office reveals that the pledges
for NAS total $21,388.83. Though
this amount represents just a good
start on the proposed goal of $100,
000, it is encouraging to know that
Bethel friends recognize the need
and are giving as they can despite
the fact that many of the confer:
ence churches are in the midst of
building programs themselves.
For the benefit of the new stu-dents,
NAS stands for New Ath-letic
Stadium. This fund is spon-sored
by the Bethel Student Council
and all contributions and pledges
are to be used in the construction
of a new field house which is nec-essary
to accomodate the school's
ever growing athletic ,program.
During the year efforts will be
made to further acquaint the stu-dents
with the plans and progress
of the fund and to give each stu-dent
an opportunity to share in
the future of Bethel.
Tentative Plans
For Roch. Trip
Word has been making the
rounds of the campus concerning
the possibility for a large student
cheering section to follow our Beth-el
Indians to Rochester when a re-turn
game is played with the Yel-low-
jackets Friday night, October
3rd. A bus, or buses, would be
chartered to keep transportation
cost to the student at a minimum.
Further announcements will be
made as soon as approval and ar-rangements
are secured — Watch
the Indians play as the student
body cheers!
Perhaps some new student on
the campus wonders what to do
with his spare time (if there is
such a thing). This article is de-signed
to meet that need. You will
find that studies, or not, Bethel stu-dents
must have some recreation
(athletic, that is), and the most
conspicuous form of it can be
found down in the gymnasium.
Though the football season has
barely begun, many of the fellows
can be found sharpening up the
'ole shootin' eye for the basket-ball
season. The game of "Horse"
which Eric and some of the boys
popularized last year has once a-gain
taken a prominent place on
the basketball court. Anytime dur-ing
the day except Chapel hour
you can get up a game very read-ily.
Just in passing, judging from
a casual observation of some of
the giants around the campus these
days, Bethel should have a good
sized bucketball team this season.
Student Rally
'Round Bon-Fire
"Stand up and cheer, ye loyal
friends and students of our Bethel
College". These strains of sweet
music drifted across Bethel Cam-pus
last Thursday evening as two
hundred students gathered around
a bonfire for a pep meeting. Bib
Nelson, assisted by Ruth Smith
and Zella McFarlan, led the crowd
in several new cheers and a snake
parade around the gridiron. Coach
Skalbeck was called upon for a
short talk, and he had a good word
of praise for the team. Quoting
the coach; "We are a green team
and have been handicapped by a
very short practice period. We've
only had time to cover the essen-tial
fundamentals of the game, but
I know that the boys are willing
to fight hard and so the best that
they can, and I'm sure that you
will be proud of them whether we
win or not." The cheerleaders then
led in a cheer for the coach. School
spirit ran high among the students
aid gave evidence that this year
the Bethel Indians will receive
more enthusiastic support from the
student body than ever before.

Then there is football. Not the
bruising type (I know!) that is
displayed by the boys with the
over-stuffed sweat shirts, but the
touch variety played anytime four
or more fellows with a football and
a little time get together on our
new gridiron. This is engaged in
by the more fortunate fellows who,
because of work or studies, are un-able
to get a daily beating on the
grunt and groan squad.
If you care to get up in the
middle of the night (6 a.m.), you
will have little difficulty in finding
some hearty soul willing to , pro-vide
the opposition in a set or two
of tennis. Many, though, prefer to
battle it out in a tough game of
checkers or ping-pong down in the
recreation rooms of the campus.
People with hands as big as pad-dles
and tough as leather can par-ticipate
in the rugged game called
hand-ball.
Rochester Passes to Victory
In Last Six Minutes of Game
Hampered by a lack of experience and training time, a valiant Bethel
team battled hard in the sweltering heat for almost three and a half
quarters of the game before falling to a fast Yellow-jacket passing at-tack
that netted two touchdowns in five minutes.
Before a crowd of 300 cheering students and friends the Indians kick-ed
off to Rochester to open the game. Grim took the ball on the 30
yd. line and returned it 10 yards before being hit by an Indian. The
Yellow-jackets smashed through for three successive first downs before
the Indian line tightened up and held. Taking over on their own 25 yd.
line the Indians elected to test Rochester's forward wall. Skoog, Indian
right-half, hit the line for 7 yards, and then Nelson booted a perfect
quick-punt that rolled to the 10 yard marker where the Yellow-jacket's
safety-man was downed. Rochester came back fighting again only to
be stopped. The first quarter ended scoreless.

Training Institute
Meets Here
Again this fall, as in the past,
the churches of the Twin Cities
area are sponsoring a leadership
training institute. It is being held
in the Bethel College Chapel for
five successive Monday evenings,
starting September 22. There will
be two sessions each evening: the
first from 7:30 to 8:15, and the
second from 8:45 to 9:30.
Topics to be studied range from
studies in the Bible to the manage-ment
of church work. The teach-ers,
including several of the mem-bers
of the Bethel faculty, are:
Prof. Anton Pearson, Prof. Reuben
Omark, Rev. Lloyd Sprecher, Mrs.
Muriel Paulson, Prof. Adolph Olsen
and Rev. Andrew Simko.
The courses are intended to give
training to present and prospective
workers in the churches who would
not otherwise be able to obtain
such training. All courses are in-cluded
in the General Conference
Education Program and credit will
be given for all work taken.
Changes Made In
Kitchen Help
The kitchen staff this year has
been completely changed, Mrs.
Enoch Lindblom from Moorehead,
Minn. acting as chief cook. Her
helpers so far tthis year have been
few and varied. Att the present
time, however, Mrs. Hannah Nelson
of Luck, Wis. and Mrs. Minnie
Phillips from Ashland, Wis. are re-placing
Alice and Melita of last
year. Both Mrs. Nelson and Mrs.
Phillips are cooks at our Bethel
Bible Camp at Wood Lake, Wis.
during the summer months. Mrs.
Allan Johnson of the Married
Couples dorm also helps out when
she is needed
Have you noticed how much
quieter the school has been this
year during classes? I suppose
you've been wondering if the stu-dents
were naturally quieter or if
they were finally deciding to study
in their spare time. IIIt isn't that
at all, but rather a new improve-ment
has been made in the coffee
shop.
In order to keep most of the
noise down in the coffee shop,
sound proofing was put on the ceil-ing
a few wekks ago. This insula-tion
keeps the noise out of the rest
of the building so that the profess-ors
may now teach their classes
without so much disturbance.
The noise is not only kept out of
the rest of the building, but the
coffeee shop is made much uieer.
How suer insulation can absorb
and do away with so much noise is
a marvel, yet it is still a fact that
the noise is somewhat deadened so
Girls' Dormitory Has
First Meeting
Miss Effie V. Nelson, Dean of
Women, led the first girls' dorm-iitory
meeting of this year on Mon-day
evening, September 15, in the
lounge of the dormitory. After the
girls sang in unison the hymn "I
Am Thine, 0 Lord," Mrs. Lawson,
Dorm Mother, led in the devotions.
Clara Leggett, Grace Johnson, and
Mary Martin composing a girls'
trio rendered a medley of several
songs. "Living the Christtian Life",
a brief challenge to the dorm res-idents,
was given by Miss Nelson.
Dr. Wingblade spoke and closed
the service with a prayer of dedi-cation.
RECEPTION

members. Mrs. Wyman Malmsten,
on behalf of the administration,
presented each of the wives of
the new professors as well as the
new women members of the fac-ulty
with beautiful corsages.
Rounding out the program was
Bill Wright, who sang a tenor solo,
and the Singing Uncles quartet.
After the close of the program,
refreshments were served in the
Dining Hall.
one can actually hear himself
think (if he can think). Now, you
don't even have to yell at the ttop
of your voice to make the person
across the table hear you. One can
talk naturally for a change.
This new improvement is greatly
appreciated not only by the pro-fessors
and their classes but also
by the few ambitious people in the
school who try to study down there.
Such may be a rare sight, but it can
be seen once in a whiile.
Another improvement which has
been made is the addition of much
needed shelves to hold supplies and
books handled by the coffee shop.
The show case had to be moved
out some to make room for these
shelves.
These improvements make the
coffee shop a much better and
more efficient place—not that it
wasn't before—but now it is better.
Look Vets!
Just a word to remind you about
a certain form that must be filled
out and turned into the Dean's off-ice
or the Veterans Administration
as soon as possible; otherwise,
you may find yourself taking up
that last notch in your belt. Be-fore
your subsistence check can
be issued by the Veterans Admin-istration
they must have this
report of your expected monthly
income. You have been given the
necessary blank to complete, so be
sure to get it out of the way at
your earliest convenience. This
will be to your advantage.
Men Train In
Home-Science
Will the young ladies of our
school realize the wonderful source
of future domesticated husbands
we have here under our roof? The
men of the dorm have been dis-playing
their skill in washing clo-thes
and cleaning rooms. It is
true that some of the clothes are
a bit on the tattle-tale gray side,
but the men are still proud of their
handiwork. Upon a closer survey
of the washline, we find that some
of the clothes have slight red, blue
Or yellow tint. Could it be that
one enterprising young man wash-ed
his colored socks and his other
laundry together? Be sure to ask
the next fellow you see wearing a
shirt with an off tint to it. At
least it shows that he tried.
There has been quite a rapid
turnover of help here. Recently
Olof Lindstedt relinquished his
post as captain to another soph-more.
We are justly proud of our
captains and hope they will keep
up their good work. Who knows
what higher positions lie ahead.

Miss'y Band Student Talent
Sets New Goal Survey Friday
In keeping with the times, Beth-el
has this year again reached a
new high in registration. From
every corner of the United States,
as well as in Canada and Alaska,
there are students at Bethel to
receive a part of their education.
Since Bethel is a Baptist school,
there are 354 students of the Bap-tist
faith enrolled. Baptist young
people are not only ones here
though, for there is a total of 17
different faiths represented in the
school body. The total enrollment
of 511 surpasses any previous re-gistration
in the history of the
school. The girls are again out-numbered
this year for there are
334 male students compared to the
total of 177 girls. The state of
Minnesota again leads in the num-ber
of representatives with a total
of 210. At least half of this total
have their homes in the Twin
Cities. Second place honors go to
Illinois with Michigan, Iowa, Neb-raska,
and California next in line.
In the college department there
are 427 students. Of these, 260 are
new students with sophomores and
the students for the new third year
making up the other 167. The vet-erans
again are well represented
this year in that there are 147 of
them taking courses in the college.
There are also three girls who
have previously been in the ser-vice.
The Seminary too has had an
increase over that of last year. The
enrollment in that department is
84 with 32 of these men being
veterans. There are 25 new stu-dents
taking theif first classes in
the Seminary to further prepare
themselves to carry on the work
that those who have gone before
have started.
New Members of
Faculty Welcomed
A reception for the faculty and
students was held on Tuesday
evening, September 16, in the col-lege
Chapel. The purpose of the
reception was to officially welcome
the new students, and to present
the new faculty members to the
student body.
The program was led by Harold
Christenson, last - year's Sophmore
president. He introduced the pres-idents
of the Religious Council and
the Student Council, Maynard John-son
and Byron Skalman respect-ively,
who extended the greetings
of their respective organizations.
This was followed by a violin solo
by Carol Landberg whereupon Roll-in
Reasoner, this year's Sophmore
president, and Harold Carlson
from the Seminary gave their wel-come.
Representing t h e faculty, brief
addresses were given by Deans
C. E. Carlson and Effie Nelson,
while President Wingblade offic-ially
presented the new faculty

DIRECTOR
Royal Bloom, B.S., M.A.
Let's turn our eyes this week to
another new member of our fac-ulty,
Mr. Royal Bloom, who is Dir-ector
of Personnel and instructor
in Psychology and Education.
Prof. Bloom is especially inter-ested
in statistics in the field of
Psychology having been research
assistant at the Uniiversity of
Minnesota, where he obtained his
B.S. and MA. degrees, and is now
working on a PhD. He has come to
us directly from the position as
Civilian Head of Classification in
the Navy Department, with duties
involving development of tests for
officer and enlisted personnel and
research on personnel selection
problems. He had served in this
same capacitty as a Lieutenant
Commander during the war. Before
this, he taught in rural schools two
years, attended St. Cloud Teachers
College for two years and was prin-cipal
of elementary schools three
years.
Mr. Bloom was born in Cam-bridge,
Minnesota. His interest
other than teaching is travel. He
and Mrs. Bloom have travelled con-siderably
throughout most of the
U.S. Second to this he is interested
in sports. While attending St.
Cloud Teachers College he played
on the baseball team.
In the paint shop now is the
new Bethel gospel team bus. The
bus was obtained from army sur-plus
on the west coast through
Rev. W. R. Anderson, a former
army chaplin, of Poyallup, Wash.
It is an elongated 1942 Chev-
With the enlargement of the stu-dent
body as a precedent, Bethel's
Missionary Band has increased its
working budget to $2,000.00 for
the current school year. ouch was
the announcement of Bud Peterson,
treasurer, in a Missionary Band
chapel service held last Wednes-day.
—
The new budget is an increase
of $500.00 over last year's budget;
but, according to the Band treas-urer,
this would average only a $4
tithe to missions on the part of
each student. Every cent given to
missions will go directly into mis-sion
work, miscellaneous expenses
of the Band being defrayed by the
Religious Council Fund. The initial
mission offering taken last Wed-nesday
amounted to $165.00. Bud
Peterson states that the monthly
tithing should average $200.00 if
the budget is to be met.
Vice president of the Missionary
Band, Ralph Larson, stressed the
Band's aim....one of helping every
student to have the mission inter-est
that he should have in the for-eign,
home and Sunday school
fields. To create and maintain this
interest on the campus, the vice
president states that the Mission-ary
Band is going to advance its
program in three-fold manner. The
program will be centered around
passionate prayer, which will be
followed up with interest revealed
in the regular Band meetings dis-closing
the realities of missions.
Thirdly, the program proposes to
aid every student in finding his
place in missions.
B. W. A. Meets
The Bethel Women's Association
met for the first time this school
year Thurslay afternoon Sept 18,
1947, for the annual installation of
officers. The faculty wives were
hostesses for the occasion. Faculty
members and wives were intro-duced.
Newly elected officers were
welcomed by last year's B. W. A.
officers with an impressive candle
service.

Several Bethel students
from the West drove it here as
they returned to Bethel this fall.
It is reported to be in excellent
condition and just what is needed
for gospel team work.
Bethelites interested in Gospel
Team work will have an opportun-ity
to so signify in a survey which
will be held during the Chapel
period Friday, Sept. 26. Mel Sone-son,
vice president of the Religious
Council, has announced a well
planned program, including tract
distribution, personal evangelism,
church services, mission work,
young peoples meetings and street
meetings. An advisory committee
of Myrtle Rhenberg, Dale Arent-son,
and George Johnson are assist-ing
in the organizing of teams and
issuing of assignments. Prof. Antgn
Pearson will act as faculty advisor.
Students will organize into duets,
trios, and quartets before the sur-vey
is made, and then will be able
to sign with whom they would best
be able to serve. The survey sheets
will then be used to organize the
teams for the year. Team captains
will be selected for each team.
Last year over twenty teams
went out from school to proclaim
God's mesage in song and word.
A gospel team must have Christ-ians
sincerely interested in the
Lord's work, and eager to win
the lost to Christ. Souls will be
saved and Christians drawn closer
to our Savior through this work
only as the servants are yielded to
the Master.
Sacred Musical
Held in Chapel
A musical program was present-ed
Wednesday evening, September
17. The Bethel male quartet sang
two groups of numbers, including
"Shall I Crucify My Savior?" and
"Only the Touch of Thy Hand,
Dear Lord." Devotions were given
by Morrie Engstrom with the read-ing
of the 100th Psalm. Helen
Hoffman and Bert Anderson pre-sented
two piano numbers, the
first of which was a classical
selection and the second, a vari-ation
of hynins and choruses.
Dr. Widen spoke on Christian
fellowship. Using his experiences
while in the Navy, he pointed out
the blessings of fellowship with
other Christians in a large group,
small groups, and even when a-lone;
for that is when we have
fellowship with Jesus Christ who
is the foundation for all Christian
fellowship.

Missionary Goal
Once again Missionary Band has anounceu
a very worthy goal which the corporate stu-dent
body will strive to achieve by the time
for Commencement next year.... ,2,000.00 for
Foreign Missions. This is a large goal, the
largest yet, for Bethel students to meet, but
it is indicative of the Foreign Missions inter-est
on the campus. Last year a $1,500.00 goal
was placed and successfully reached.
Two hasty thoughts often come to the stu-dent
when such a campaign is begun. "Why
are students asked to make a money contri-bution
when student costs are high?" Or, "Why
am I obligated to give when I'm preparing for
full-time Christian service?" It seems that if
such attitudes are permitted to linger the stu-dent
may succumb to the permanent temp-tation
of not helping to the best of his ability.
Could this be immature Christian thinking?
Rather, as students who are already begin-ning
a life given task of Christian service,
whether or not this service becomes profess-ional
in nature later, we are interested in the
evangelical problems of the world. There is
a desire to help share in meeting world evan-gelical
needs now.
The small $.45 per student per month
amount will meet the $2,000.00 goal.
CLIQUING
We students at Bethel, especially the newer
ones, have been regaled in the past few
weeks with much in the way of welcome. Phis
has taken various forms, at times sincere and
at times in the spirit of fun. This is, of
course to be expected, and it is an integral
part of geting settled in any school. However,
at about this time comes the great test of
the many expressed sentiments. About now,
the newer students begin to find themselves
left pretty much to their own devices in many
school activities. With a few exceptions, upper-classmen
maintain a strict code of isolation.
Although a large part of this cliquing is un-doubtedly
unintentional, it is very definitely
here. Anyone at Bethel can easily pick out
several of these cliques.
We don't propose to condemn this pratice at
all. It is merely the fact that its existence as
such tends to create a certain amount of
hard feeling now and then. This should not
be and it can easily be avoided. Happily, no
reason for a complaint such as this has arisen
as yet, and it would create a pleasant pre-cedence
if it would never happen at all. This
then, in essence, is the purpose of this piece.
Let's see to it that we include a few newer
students in some of our activities. Let's see
to it that no one will ever have to say of his
years at Bethel that he felt alone or friendless
because he couldn't break down the walls
built up by groups that had been at school
earlier.

Greetings and hallucinations ! By now I sup-pose
that all the sunburned noses are back
very close to the grindstone and that every
foot that strayed on Broken-Bottle Beach is
well healed. We've .all settled happily into
the stimulating, rigorous Bethel routine and
become accustomed to our comfortable quart-ers.

true as John Finstrom says, that "the school

title. Beyond the shadow of any possible doubt,
during last year Phil made the most abomin-able
coffee on the campus. And so far, no one
this year has been able to outdo him. Until

techniques (and it may be Gus Lundberg

other words).

Some prefer to think of all education as
"guidance". This would be particularly appro-riate
in a school such as our own in which
our whole program is definitely student-cent-ered.
From this viewpoint all of our efforts
on the campus can be called "personnel work".
There is, however, a more specific or more
limited use of these terms. This places its
emphasis upon certain aspects of the work
and upon certain techniques. Such problems
as efficiency of study habits, interest and ap-titude
analysis, and the planning of courses
of study and vocational careers are brought
into the foreground in this emphasis.
The decisions of life cannot be made by one
person for another. We must each live our
own lives in the terms of our personal re-sponsibility
before God. Yet we can be of
help to one another in analysing the situation
and the factors involved. The need for enlarg-ing
our facilities for this work has been ap-parent
with the growth of our schol.
Accordingly, we were pleased to announce
the appointment of Mr. Royal Bloom to the
position of Director of Personnel. He is now
on hand ready to give the students the assis-tance
which they desire in these matters. Mr.
Bloom is a specialist in Educational Psych-ology
and has a wide background of study,
research, and experience.
As Christians we often challenge each other
to give "our best" in the Lord's service. This
must include the planning and the carrying
out of our school work in the most effective
manner possible.

perplexities was aired by the Baron,
Ole Lindstedt, when he inquired thusly: "How
does Ev Johnson maintain that effortless,
easy, casual, man-of-milk-distinction "look"
about himself? What could be his secret? Is
it the Yardley stench, or a tweed scivy shirt,
or is it a slab of knotty pine in his shoulder
padding? Or does he room with a dog and old
shot-gun? What is it?" The solution was vent-ured
by a chap named Rehnberg (James, I
believe it is) who bent over the table and con-fided
in low tones with cupped hand: "By way

Indians Lose Hard-Fought Game 14-0
The second quarter found the
Indians playing even with Roches-ter,
each team making two first
downs. A surprise 35 yd. pass was
completed to Osterberg, Olson do-ing
the passing, just as the half
ended.
Rochester received the openinb
kick-off again as the second half
began. The Yellow-jackets com-manded
the ball most of the quart-er,
and began to threatetn late in
the period. As the quarter ended
Rochester had the ball on Bethel's
13 yd. line. Charging hard from
the T-formation they fought down
to the 4 yd. marker where the
Indians stopped them just short
of a first down. The Indians kick-ed
out to about the 30 yd. line
where the Gold and Blue started
to roll again; They pushed to the
10 yd. line before being thrown
for an eight yd. loss. Then came
the touchdown pass on the fourth
down from McDonough to Kleint.
The extra point was good, and
Rochester took the lead 7-0.
The Indians took the ball on the
kick-off and after a couple line
plays lost the ball on a fumble.
Taking advantage of this break
Rochester smashed to the goal
line where they were stopped by
a 15 yd. penalty. Coming back with
a fast charge against a weary In-dian
forward wall they moved in-side
the 10 yard line. A quick bas-ketball
pass over the goal line to
Kleise brought the second touch-down.
The kick was good making
the score 14-0 in favor of the Yel-low-
jackets.
Rochester kicked-off again with
Brunko returning it to the 35 yard
line. On the second play Bethel
lost the ball on a pass interception.
The ball exchanged hands a couple
of times with the ball in the In-dian's
possession on their 35 yard
line as the game ended.
Red and White gridders trudged
wearily into the locker room, but
none of them were discouraged.
This was just a warm-up game,
and all the boys are pointing to-ward
October 3rd when they play
a night game with Rochester on
their home field. This will give
them a chance for revenge and a
conference victory.
In its first year of competition
the Bethel football team will be
aided greatly by the services of
Bob Brunko, a nineteen year old
lad from Iron Mountain, Michigan.
Bob gained a lot of football exper-ience
at Kingsford High School in
Michigan where he played full-back
for four years. He weighs
185 pounds and is 6' 1" tall. Bob
has a lot of drive when hitting
that line, and is almost certain to
be called on to fill the full back
position a great deal of the time.
He runs fast and blocks hard, and
should prove quite a headache to
the opposition this year.
Bob's home church :s the Im-manuel
Baptist church of Ironwood
which is a member of the General
Baptist Conference. This is his
first year at Bethel, and the course
of study he is following is in prep-aration
for the ministry.
Practice Notes
On Wednesday, two days before
their opening game, the Indians
were given a rough workout a-gainst
the Washington High School
eleven. Though a high school team,
the Washington boys were evenly
matched in size and weight with
the Indians. Although neither team
proved very impressive on the off-ense,
the defensive play was
marked by some hard tackling, and
bumps and bruises were plentiful.
Unfortunately, M e 1 Soneson, one
of the Indian's backfield men, suf-fered
a badly sprained ankle and
was unable to be in the game with
Rochester on Friday. The scrim-mage
was rough but the Indians
learned a lot.

NAS Goes Over
$20,000 Mark
The latest report from the Col-lege
office reveals that the pledges
for NAS total $21,388.83. Though
this amount represents just a good
start on the proposed goal of $100,
000, it is encouraging to know that
Bethel friends recognize the need
and are giving as they can despite
the fact that many of the confer:
ence churches are in the midst of
building programs themselves.
For the benefit of the new stu-dents,
NAS stands for New Ath-letic
Stadium. This fund is spon-sored
by the Bethel Student Council
and all contributions and pledges
are to be used in the construction
of a new field house which is nec-essary
to accomodate the school's
ever growing athletic ,program.
During the year efforts will be
made to further acquaint the stu-dents
with the plans and progress
of the fund and to give each stu-dent
an opportunity to share in
the future of Bethel.
Tentative Plans
For Roch. Trip
Word has been making the
rounds of the campus concerning
the possibility for a large student
cheering section to follow our Beth-el
Indians to Rochester when a re-turn
game is played with the Yel-low-
jackets Friday night, October
3rd. A bus, or buses, would be
chartered to keep transportation
cost to the student at a minimum.
Further announcements will be
made as soon as approval and ar-rangements
are secured — Watch
the Indians play as the student
body cheers!
Perhaps some new student on
the campus wonders what to do
with his spare time (if there is
such a thing). This article is de-signed
to meet that need. You will
find that studies, or not, Bethel stu-dents
must have some recreation
(athletic, that is), and the most
conspicuous form of it can be
found down in the gymnasium.
Though the football season has
barely begun, many of the fellows
can be found sharpening up the
'ole shootin' eye for the basket-ball
season. The game of "Horse"
which Eric and some of the boys
popularized last year has once a-gain
taken a prominent place on
the basketball court. Anytime dur-ing
the day except Chapel hour
you can get up a game very read-ily.
Just in passing, judging from
a casual observation of some of
the giants around the campus these
days, Bethel should have a good
sized bucketball team this season.
Student Rally
'Round Bon-Fire
"Stand up and cheer, ye loyal
friends and students of our Bethel
College". These strains of sweet
music drifted across Bethel Cam-pus
last Thursday evening as two
hundred students gathered around
a bonfire for a pep meeting. Bib
Nelson, assisted by Ruth Smith
and Zella McFarlan, led the crowd
in several new cheers and a snake
parade around the gridiron. Coach
Skalbeck was called upon for a
short talk, and he had a good word
of praise for the team. Quoting
the coach; "We are a green team
and have been handicapped by a
very short practice period. We've
only had time to cover the essen-tial
fundamentals of the game, but
I know that the boys are willing
to fight hard and so the best that
they can, and I'm sure that you
will be proud of them whether we
win or not." The cheerleaders then
led in a cheer for the coach. School
spirit ran high among the students
aid gave evidence that this year
the Bethel Indians will receive
more enthusiastic support from the
student body than ever before.

Then there is football. Not the
bruising type (I know!) that is
displayed by the boys with the
over-stuffed sweat shirts, but the
touch variety played anytime four
or more fellows with a football and
a little time get together on our
new gridiron. This is engaged in
by the more fortunate fellows who,
because of work or studies, are un-able
to get a daily beating on the
grunt and groan squad.
If you care to get up in the
middle of the night (6 a.m.), you
will have little difficulty in finding
some hearty soul willing to , pro-vide
the opposition in a set or two
of tennis. Many, though, prefer to
battle it out in a tough game of
checkers or ping-pong down in the
recreation rooms of the campus.
People with hands as big as pad-dles
and tough as leather can par-ticipate
in the rugged game called
hand-ball.
Rochester Passes to Victory
In Last Six Minutes of Game
Hampered by a lack of experience and training time, a valiant Bethel
team battled hard in the sweltering heat for almost three and a half
quarters of the game before falling to a fast Yellow-jacket passing at-tack
that netted two touchdowns in five minutes.
Before a crowd of 300 cheering students and friends the Indians kick-ed
off to Rochester to open the game. Grim took the ball on the 30
yd. line and returned it 10 yards before being hit by an Indian. The
Yellow-jackets smashed through for three successive first downs before
the Indian line tightened up and held. Taking over on their own 25 yd.
line the Indians elected to test Rochester's forward wall. Skoog, Indian
right-half, hit the line for 7 yards, and then Nelson booted a perfect
quick-punt that rolled to the 10 yard marker where the Yellow-jacket's
safety-man was downed. Rochester came back fighting again only to
be stopped. The first quarter ended scoreless.

Edwin Omark
Training Institute
Meets Here
Again this fall, as in the past,
the churches of the Twin Cities
area are sponsoring a leadership
training institute. It is being held
in the Bethel College Chapel for
five successive Monday evenings,
starting September 22. There will
be two sessions each evening: the
first from 7:30 to 8:15, and the
second from 8:45 to 9:30.
Topics to be studied range from
studies in the Bible to the manage-ment
of church work. The teach-ers,
including several of the mem-bers
of the Bethel faculty, are:
Prof. Anton Pearson, Prof. Reuben
Omark, Rev. Lloyd Sprecher, Mrs.
Muriel Paulson, Prof. Adolph Olsen
and Rev. Andrew Simko.
The courses are intended to give
training to present and prospective
workers in the churches who would
not otherwise be able to obtain
such training. All courses are in-cluded
in the General Conference
Education Program and credit will
be given for all work taken.
Changes Made In
Kitchen Help
The kitchen staff this year has
been completely changed, Mrs.
Enoch Lindblom from Moorehead,
Minn. acting as chief cook. Her
helpers so far tthis year have been
few and varied. Att the present
time, however, Mrs. Hannah Nelson
of Luck, Wis. and Mrs. Minnie
Phillips from Ashland, Wis. are re-placing
Alice and Melita of last
year. Both Mrs. Nelson and Mrs.
Phillips are cooks at our Bethel
Bible Camp at Wood Lake, Wis.
during the summer months. Mrs.
Allan Johnson of the Married
Couples dorm also helps out when
she is needed
Have you noticed how much
quieter the school has been this
year during classes? I suppose
you've been wondering if the stu-dents
were naturally quieter or if
they were finally deciding to study
in their spare time. IIIt isn't that
at all, but rather a new improve-ment
has been made in the coffee
shop.
In order to keep most of the
noise down in the coffee shop,
sound proofing was put on the ceil-ing
a few wekks ago. This insula-tion
keeps the noise out of the rest
of the building so that the profess-ors
may now teach their classes
without so much disturbance.
The noise is not only kept out of
the rest of the building, but the
coffeee shop is made much uieer.
How suer insulation can absorb
and do away with so much noise is
a marvel, yet it is still a fact that
the noise is somewhat deadened so
Girls' Dormitory Has
First Meeting
Miss Effie V. Nelson, Dean of
Women, led the first girls' dorm-iitory
meeting of this year on Mon-day
evening, September 15, in the
lounge of the dormitory. After the
girls sang in unison the hymn "I
Am Thine, 0 Lord," Mrs. Lawson,
Dorm Mother, led in the devotions.
Clara Leggett, Grace Johnson, and
Mary Martin composing a girls'
trio rendered a medley of several
songs. "Living the Christtian Life",
a brief challenge to the dorm res-idents,
was given by Miss Nelson.
Dr. Wingblade spoke and closed
the service with a prayer of dedi-cation.
RECEPTION
(continued from page 1)
members. Mrs. Wyman Malmsten,
on behalf of the administration,
presented each of the wives of
the new professors as well as the
new women members of the fac-ulty
with beautiful corsages.
Rounding out the program was
Bill Wright, who sang a tenor solo,
and the Singing Uncles quartet.
After the close of the program,
refreshments were served in the
Dining Hall.
one can actually hear himself
think (if he can think). Now, you
don't even have to yell at the ttop
of your voice to make the person
across the table hear you. One can
talk naturally for a change.
This new improvement is greatly
appreciated not only by the pro-fessors
and their classes but also
by the few ambitious people in the
school who try to study down there.
Such may be a rare sight, but it can
be seen once in a whiile.
Another improvement which has
been made is the addition of much
needed shelves to hold supplies and
books handled by the coffee shop.
The show case had to be moved
out some to make room for these
shelves.
These improvements make the
coffee shop a much better and
more efficient place—not that it
wasn't before—but now it is better.
Look Vets!
Just a word to remind you about
a certain form that must be filled
out and turned into the Dean's off-ice
or the Veterans Administration
as soon as possible; otherwise,
you may find yourself taking up
that last notch in your belt. Be-fore
your subsistence check can
be issued by the Veterans Admin-istration
they must have this
report of your expected monthly
income. You have been given the
necessary blank to complete, so be
sure to get it out of the way at
your earliest convenience. This
will be to your advantage.
Men Train In
Home-Science
Will the young ladies of our
school realize the wonderful source
of future domesticated husbands
we have here under our roof? The
men of the dorm have been dis-playing
their skill in washing clo-thes
and cleaning rooms. It is
true that some of the clothes are
a bit on the tattle-tale gray side,
but the men are still proud of their
handiwork. Upon a closer survey
of the washline, we find that some
of the clothes have slight red, blue
Or yellow tint. Could it be that
one enterprising young man wash-ed
his colored socks and his other
laundry together? Be sure to ask
the next fellow you see wearing a
shirt with an off tint to it. At
least it shows that he tried.
There has been quite a rapid
turnover of help here. Recently
Olof Lindstedt relinquished his
post as captain to another soph-more.
We are justly proud of our
captains and hope they will keep
up their good work. Who knows
what higher positions lie ahead.
